ENVIRONMENTAL HAZARDS
This pesticide contains atrazine, which is toxic to aquatic invertebrates. Do not apply directly to water, or to areas where surface water is present, or to intertidal
areas below the mean high water mark. Do not apply when weather conditions favor drift from treated areas. Runoff and drift from treated areas may be hazardous
to aquatic organisms in neighboring areas. Do not contaminate water when disposing of equipment wash water and rinsate.

59067_book_art 5/8/12 9:12 AM Page 3
Ground Water Advisory
Stalwart Xtra Lite contains both the active ingredients atrazine and metolachlor.
Atrazine can travel (seep or leach) through soil and can enter groundwater which may be used as drinking water. Atrazine has been found in groundwater. Users
are advised not to apply atrazine to sand and loamy sand soils where the water table (groundwater) is close to the surface and where these soils are very permeable, i.e., well-drained. Your local agricultural agencies can provide further information on the type of soil in your area and the location of groundwater.
Metolachlor has the potential to leach through soil into ground water under certain conditions as a result of agricultural use. Use of this chemical in areas where
soils are permeable, particularly where the water table is shallow, may result in ground water contamination.
Surface Water Advisory
Metolachlor has the potential to contaminate surface water through ground spray drift. Under some conditions, metolachlor may also have a high potential for
runoff into surface water (primarily via dissolution in runoff water) for several months post-application. These include poorly draining or wet soils with readily
visible slopes toward adjacent surface waters, frequently flooded areas, areas over-laying extremely shallow ground water, areas with in-field canals or ditches that
drain to surface water, areas not separated from adjacent surface waters with vegetated filter strips, and areas over-laying tile drainage systems that drain to
surface water.

PRODUCT INFORMATION
Stalwart Xtra Lite is a selective herbicide for use before planting, before or after emergence (see directions) for control of most annual grasses and broadleaf
weeds in corn (all types). This product may be tank mixed with other herbicides specified on this label for weed control in conventional, minimum-till, and no-till
corn.
Note: Tank mixtures are permitted only in those states where the tank mix partner is registered. Refer to and follow the label for each tank mix product used
for precautionary statements, directions for use, geographic and other restrictions.
Following many years of continuous use of atrazine (one of the ingredients in Stalwart Xtra Lite), and products chemically related to atrazine, biotypes of
some of the weeds listed on this label which are controlled by the atrazine component have been reported to develop resistance to this and chemically related
herbicides. Where this is known or suspected, and weeds controlled by this product are expected to be present along with resistant biotypes, we recommend
the use of Stalwart Xtra Lite in combination or in sequence with registered herbicides, which do not contain triazines. Consult with your State Agricultural
Extension Service for specific recommendations.
When tank-mixing or sequentially applying simazine and/or atrazine or products containing either active ingredient to corn, the total pounds of simazine and/or
atrazine applied (lbs ai/A) must not exceed either 2.0 pounds active ingredient per single application or 2.5 pounds active ingredient per/acre/calendar year.
Stalwart Xtra Lite alone or in tank mixture with atrazine, isoxaflutole (Balance® Flexx), metolachlor (Stalwart C), or simazine (Sim-Trol®) may be applied early
preplant, preplant surface, preplant incorporated, or preemergence in water or fluid fertilizer. Apply post-emergence treatments of Stalwart Xtra Lite using
water only as the carrier. Stalwart Xtra Lite may be applied in tank mix combination with paraquat (Gramoxone®), 2,4-D + glyphosate (Landmaster® BW), or
glyphosate (Roundup®) with or without the above herbicides preplant surface or preemergence.
Stalwart Xtra Lite may be applied in water by aircraft. Applications in fluid fertilizer should be only by ground equipment.
To avoid spray drift, do not apply under windy conditions. Avoid spray overlap, as crop injury may result.
Do not apply this product through any type of irrigation system.
Do not apply this product in a greenhouse.
Do not graze or feed forage from treated areas for 60-days following application for corn (all types). (60-day PHI)
Post-emergent applications to corn must be made before the crop reaches 12 inches in height.
Do not apply under conditions, which favor runoff or wind erosion of soil containing this product to nontarget areas.
To prevent off-site movement due to runoff or wind erosion:
1. Avoid treating powdery dry or light sand soils when conditions are favorable for wind erosion. Under these conditions, the soil surface should first be settled
by rainfall or irrigation.
2. Do not apply to impervious substrates, such as paved or highly compacted surfaces.
3. Do not use tailwater from the first flood or furrow irrigation of treated fields to treat nontarget crops, unless at least 1/2 inch of rainfall has occurred between
application and the first irrigation.
Where reference is made to weeds partially controlled, partial control can either mean erratic control from good to poor, or consistent control at a level below
that generally considered acceptable for commercial weed control.
Dry weather following preemergence application of Stalwart Xtra Lite or a tank mixture may reduce effectiveness. Cultivate if weeds develop.
Thoroughly clean sprayer or other application device before using. Dispose of cleaning solution in a responsible manner. Do not use a sprayer or applicator contaminated with other materials, or crop damage or sprayer clogging of the application device may occur.

MIXING PROCEDURES
Shake 2.5 gal. jugs well and thoroughly re-circulate larger containers and bulk tanks before using. Stalwart Xtra Lite is a liquid that may be mixed with water
or fluid fertilizer and applied as a spray. Stalwart Xtra Lite may also be sprayed onto dry bulk granular fertilizer and applied with the granular fertilizer.
Dry Bulk Granular Fertilizers
Many dry bulk granular fertilizers may be impregnated or coated with Stalwart Xtra Lite and used to control weeds in corn.
When applying Stalwart Xtra Lite with dry bulk granular fertilizers, follow all directions for use and precautions on the Stalwart Xtra Lite label regarding
target crops, rates per acre, soil texture, application methods (including timing of application), and rotational crops.
All individual state regulations relating to dry bulk granular fertilizer blending, registration, labeling, and application are the responsibility of the individual and/or
company selling the herbicide/fertilizer mixture.
Impregnation of bulk fertilizer is restricted to commercial facilities. On-farm fertilizer impregnation is prohibited. No more than 500 tons of dry bulk fertilizer
can be impregnated per day. No single facility may impregnate fertilizer with this product for more than 30 days per calendar year. The commercial facility impregnating the dry bulk fertilizer must inform, in writing, the user (applicator) of the dry bulk fertilizer that:
• Applicators must wear long-sleeved shirt, long pants, shoes, and socks.
• The restricted-entry interval is 24 hours.
Prepare the herbicide/fertilizer mixture by using any closed drum, belt, ribbon, or other commonly used dry bulk fertilizer blender. Nozzles used to spray Stalwart
Xtra Lite onto the fertilizer must be placed to provide uniform spray coverage. Care should be taken to aim the spray directly onto the fertilizer only and to
avoid spraying the walls of the blender.
If the herbicide/fertilizer mixture is too wet, add a highly absorptive material, such as Agsorb® or Celatom MP-79®, or similar granular clay or diatomaceous earth
materials, to obtain a dry, free-flowing mixture. Absorptive materials should be added only after the herbicide has been thoroughly blended into the fertilizer
mixture. Best application results will be obtained by using a granule of 6/30 particle size or of a size similar to that of the fertilizer material being used. Generally,
less than 2% by weight of absorptive material will be needed. Avoid using more than 5% absorptive material by weight.
Calculate the amount of Stalwart Xtra Lite to be used by the following formula:
2,000
pts./A of liquid or
pts. of liquid or flowable
lbs. of fertilizer per acre
X

Pneumatic (Compressed Air) Application
High humidity, high urea concentrations, low fertilizer use rates, and dusty fertilizer may cause fertilizer mixtures to build up or plug the distributor head, air
tubes, or nozzle deflector plates.To minimize buildup, premix Stalwart Xtra Lite with Exxon Aromatic 200 at a rate of 2.0-2.5 pts./gal. of Stalwart Xtra Lite.
Aromatic 200 may be used in either a fertilizer blender or through direct injection systems. Drying agents should not be used when using Aromatic 200. Consult
the manufacturer’s MSDS for information relating to the flammability of this solvent.
Notes: (1) Mixtures of Stalwart Xtra Lite and Aromatic 200 must be used on dry fertilizer only. Poor results or crop injury may result if these mixtures are
used in water or liquid fertilizer solutions for spraying applications. (2) When impregnating Stalwart Xtra Lite in a blender before application, a drier mixture
can be attained by substituting a drying agent for Aromatic 200. The use of Agsorb FG or drying agents of 6/30 particle size is recommended. (3) Drying agents
are not recommended for use with On-The-Go impregnation equipment.
Precautions:To avoid potential for explosion, (1) Do not impregnate Stalwart Xtra Lite on ammonium nitrate, potassium nitrate, or sodium nitrate, either alone or in blends
with other fertilizers. (2) Do not combine Stalwart Xtra Lite with a single superphosphate (0-20-0) or treble superphosphate (0-46-0). (3) Do not use Stalwart Xtra Lite
on straight limestone, since absorption will not be achieved. Fertilizer blends containing limestone can be impregnated.
Application
Apply 200-700 lbs. of the herbicide/fertilizer mixture per acre. For best results, apply the mixture uniformly to the soil with properly calibrated equipment immediately after blending. Uniform application of the herbicide/fertilizer mixture is essential in order to prevent possible crop injury or injury to subsequent rotational crops. Nonuniform application may also result in unsatisfactory weed control. In areas where conventional tillage is practiced, a shallow incorporation of
the mixture into the soil is recommended to obtain satisfactory weed control. On fine- or medium-textured soils in areas where soil incorporation is not planned,
i.e., reduced tillage situations or in some conventional till situations, make applications approximately 30 days before planting to allow moisture to move the herbicide/fertilizer mixture into the soil. On coarse-textured soils, make applications approximately 14 days prior to planting.
Precautions: (1) To help avoid rotational crop injury, make applications as early as possible, since Stalwart Xtra Lite impregnated onto dry bulk granular fertilizers can be
expected to last longer in the soil than when Stalwart Xtra Lite is applied as a spray in water or fluid fertilizer. (2) To avoid potential crop injury, do not use the herbicide/fertilizer mixture on crops where planting beds are to be formed.
Application in Water or Fluid Fertilizers
Stalwart Xtra Lite Alone: Fill the spray tank 1/2-3/4 full with water or fluid fertilizer, add the proper amount of Stalwart Xtra Lite, then add the rest of the
water or fluid fertilizer. Provide sufficient agitation during mixing and application to maintain a uniform suspension.
5
59067_book_art 5/11/12 12:28 PM Page 6
Tank Mixtures: Fill the spray tank 1/2-3/4 full with water or fluid fertilizer, add the proper amount of Stalwart Xtra Lite, then add atrazine, dicamba, isoxaflutole
(Balance Flexx), linuron, or simazine; next add metolachlor; then add paraquat, 2,4-D + glyphosate (Landmaster BW), or glyphosate, depending on the tank mix
combination desired; and finally, add the rest of the water or fluid fertilizer. Only water may be used with Stalwart Xtra Lite + Liberty® Herbicide when applied
postemergence to corn designated as tolerant to Liberty (glufosinate); and with Roundup Ultra® when applied postemergence to corn designated as tolerant to
Roundup (glyphosate). Provide sufficient agitation during mixing and application to maintain a uniform suspension.
Note: Always refer to the labels of the tank mix partner products for maximum use rates, directions for use, precautionary statements, geographic and other
restrictions.
Compatibility Test
A jar test is recommended before tank mixing to ensure compatibility of Stalwart Xtra Lite with other pesticides. The following test assumes a spray volume
of 25 gals./A. For other spray volumes, make appropriate changes in the ingredients.
Note: Nitrogen solutions or complete fluid fertilizers may replace all or part of the water in the spray. Since liquid fertilizers vary, even within the same analysis,
always check compatibility with pesticide(s) each time before use. Incompatibility of tank mixtures is more common with suspensions of fertilizer and
pesticides. Commercial application equipment may improve compatibility in some instances. Check compatibility using this procedure:
1. Add 1.0 pt. of carrier (fertilizer or water) to each of 2 one-qt. jars with tight lids. Note: Use the same source of water that will be used for the tank mix and
conduct the test at the temperature the tank mix will be applied.
2. To one of the jars, add 1 /4 tsp. or 1.2 milliliters of a compatibility agent approved for this use (1 /4 tsp. is equivalent to 2.0 pts./100 gals. spray). Shake or stir
gently to mix.When an adjuvant is to be used with this product, Sipcam Agro USA recommends the use of Compex®, Unite® or a Chemical Producers and Distributors Association (CPDA) certified adjuvant.
3. To both jars, add the appropriate amount of pesticide(s) in their relative proportions based on recommended label rates. If more than one pesticide is used,
add them separately with dry herbicides first, flowables next, and emulsifiable concentrates last. After each addition, shake or stir gently to thoroughly mix.The
appropriate amount of herbicides for this test follows:
Dry herbicides: For each pound to be applied per acre, add 1.5 level teaspoons to each jar.
Liquid herbicides: For each pint to be applied per acre, add 0.5 teaspoon or 2.5 milliliters to each jar.
4. After adding all ingredients, put lids on and tighten, and invert each jar 10 times to mix. Let the mixtures stand 15-30 minutes and then look for separation,
large flakes, precipitates, gels, heavy oily film on the jar, or other signs of incompatibility. Determine if the compatibility agent is needed in the spray mixture by
comparing the 2 jars. If either mixture separates, but can be remixed readily, the mixture can be sprayed as long as good agitation is used. If the mixtures are
incompatible, test the following methods of improving compatibility: (A) slurry the dry pesticide(s) in water before addition, or (B) add 1/2 of the compatibility
agent to the fertilizer or water and the other 1/2 to the emulsifiable concentrate or flowable pesticide before addition to the mixture. If incompatibility is still
observed, do not use the mixture.
5. After compatibility testing is complete, dispose of any pesticide wastes in accordance with the Storage and Disposal section in this label.

APPLICATION INFORMATION
Ground Application: Use sprayers that provide accurate and uniform application. Screens in nozzles and in suction and in-line strainers should be no finer than
50-mesh. Use a pump with capacity to: (1) maintain 35-40 psi at the nozzles, and (2) provide sufficient agitation in tank to keep mixture in suspension. Unless otherwise specified, use a minimum of 10 gals. of spray mixture per acre. Rinse sprayer thoroughly with clean water immediately after use.
For band applications, calculate amount to be applied per acre as follows:
band width in inches X
broadcast rate
=
amount needed
row width in inches
per acre
per acre of field
Low Carrier Application (Broadcast Ground Application Only): Use sprayers, such as Ag-Chem RoGator®, Hagie, John Deere Hi-Cycle™, John Deere
4700 Sprayer, Melroe Spra-Coupe, Tyler Patriot™, or Willmar Air Ride®, that provide accurate and uniform application. Only water may be used as a carrier.
Screens in suction and in-line strainers should be 50-mesh. Manufacturers may require that tip screens as fine as 100-mesh be used with some nozzles. Use a
pump with capacity to: (1) maintain up to 35-40 psi at the nozzles, and (2) provide sufficient agitation in tank to keep mixture in suspension. Use a minimum of
5.0 gals. of spray mixture per acre. Maximum recommended sprayer speed is 15 mph. Maintain uniform travel speed while spraying. Rinse sprayer thoroughly with
clean water immediately after each use.

59067_book_art 5/11/12 12:28 PM Page 7
Note: Low pressure nozzles are recommended to reduce drift and increase application accuracy. Care should be taken when using automatic rate-controlling
devices to spray the material within the rated working pressure and flow ranges of the nozzle selected. Nozzle screens should be used when recommended by the
manufacturer. All nozzles should be placed on 20-inch centers, except flooding types which should be placed on 40-inch centers. When Flat Fan-type nozzles are
used, angles of 80° or 110° are recommended. Always read and follow the manufacturer’s directions for optimum setup and performance of their nozzles or tips.
Aerial Application (for Stalwart Xtra Lite alone): Use aerial application only where broadcast applications are specified. Apply a minimum of 1.0 gal. of
water for each 1.0 gal. of this product applied per acre, but for rates below 1.0 gal./A, use in sufficient water to equal 2.0 gals./A of total spray. Avoid applications
under conditions where uniform coverage cannot be obtained or where excessive spray drift may occur. In order to assure that spray will be controllable within
the target area when used according to label directions, make applications at a maximum height of 10 ft., using low-drift nozzles at a maximum pressure of 40 psi,
and restrict application to periods when wind speed does not exceed 10 mph. To assure that spray will not adversely affect adjacent sensitive nontarget plants,
apply Stalwart Xtra Lite by aircraft at a minimum upwind distance of 400 ft. from sensitive plants.
Avoid application to humans or animals. Flagmen and loaders - Avoid inhalation of spray mist and prolonged contact with skin.
Aerial Drift Management
Avoiding spray drift at the application site is the responsibility of the applicator. The interaction of many equipment- and weather-related factors determine the
potential for spray drift. The applicator and the grower are responsible for considering all these factors when making decisions.
The following drift management requirements must be followed to avoid off-target drift movement from aerial applications to agricultural field crops. These requirements do not apply to forestry applications, public health uses or to applications using dry formulations.
1. The distance of the outermost nozzles on the boom must not exceed 3/4 the length of the wingspan or rotor.
2. Nozzles must always point backward parallel with the air stream and never be pointed downward more than 45 degrees.
Where states have more stringent regulations, they must be observed.
The applicator should be familiar with and take into account the information covered in the Aerial Drift Reduction Advisory Information section below.
Aerial Drift Reduction Advisory Information
Information on Droplet Size
The most effective way to reduce drift potential is to apply large droplets.The best drift management strategy is to apply the largest droplets that provide sufficient
coverage and control. Applying larger droplets reduces drift potential, but will not prevent drift if applications are made improperly, or under unfavorable environmental conditions (see Wind,Temperature and Humidity, and Temperature Inversions).
Controlling Droplet Size
• Volume – Use high flow rate nozzles to apply the highest practical spray volume. Nozzles with higher rated flows produce larger droplets.
• Pressure – Do not exceed the nozzle manufacturer’s recommended pressures. For many nozzle types, lower pressure produces larger droplets. When higher
flow rates are needed, use higher flow rate nozzles instead of increasing pressure.
• Number of nozzles – Use the minimum number of nozzles that provide uniform coverage.
• Nozzle Orientation – Orienting nozzles so that the spray is released parallel to the airstream produces larger droplets than other orientations and is the
recommended practice. Significant deflection from horizontal will reduce droplet size and increase drift potential.
• Nozzle Type – Use a nozzle type that is designed for the intended application.With most nozzle types, narrower spray angles produce larger droplets. Consider
using low-drift nozzles. Solid stream nozzles oriented straight back produce the largest droplets and the lowest drift.

For some use patterns, reducing the effective boom length to less than 3/4 of the wingspan or rotor length may further reduce drift without reducing swath
width.
Application Height
Applications must not be made at a height greater than 10 feet above the top of the largest plants unless a greater height is required for aircraft safety. Making
applications at the lowest height that is safe reduces exposure of droplets to evaporation and wind.
Swath Adjustment
When applications are made with a crosswind, the swath will be displaced downwind. Therefore, on the up and downwind edges of the field, the applicator must
compensate for this displacement by adjusting the path of the aircraft upwind. Swath adjustment distance should increase, with increasing drift potential (higher
wind, smaller drops, etc.).
Wind
Drift potential is lowest between wind speeds of 2-10 mph. However, many factors, including droplet size and equipment type determine drift potential at any
given speed. Application must be avoided below 2 mph due to variable wind direction and high inversion potential. Note: Local terrain can influence wind
patterns. Every applicator must be familiar with local wind patterns and how they affect spray drift.
Temperature and Humidity
When making applications in low relative humidity, set up equipment to produce larger droplets to compensate for evaporation. Droplet evaporation is most
severe when conditions are both hot and dry.
7
59067_book_art 5/11/12 12:28 PM Page 8
Temperature Inversions
Applications must not occur during a temperature inversion because drift potential is high.Temperature inversions restrict vertical air mixing, which causes small
suspended droplets to remain in a concentrated cloud.This cloud can move in unpredictable directions due to the light variable winds common during inversions.
Temperature inversions are characterized by increasing temperatures with altitude and are common on nights with limited cloud cover and light to no wind.They
begin to form as the sun sets and often continue into the morning. Their presence can be indicated by ground fog; however, if fog is not present, inversions can
also be identified by the movement of smoke from a ground source or an aircraft smoke generator. Smoke that layers and moves laterally in a concentrated cloud
(under low wind conditions) indicates an inversion, while smoke that moves upward and rapidly dissipates indicates good vertical air mixing.
Sensitive Areas
The pesticide must only be applied when the potential for drift to adjacent sensitive areas (e.g., residential areas, bodies of water, known habitat for threatened
or endangered species, nontarget crops) is minimal (e.g., when wind is blowing away from the sensitive areas).
Rate Limitations
Where there are state/local requirements regarding atrazine use (including lower maximum rates and/or greater setbacks), which are different from the label, the
more restrictive/protective requirements must be followed. Certain states may have established rate limitations within specific geographical areas. Consult your
state lead pesticide control agency for additional information. It is a violation of this label to deviate from state use regulations.
Note: For purposes of calculating total atrazine active ingredient applied, Stalwart Xtra Lite contains 2.0 lbs. a.i. atrazine + related compounds per gal. (0.5
lbs. ai/qt.).
ROTATIONAL CROPS
Do not rotate to food or feed crops other than those listed below:
(1) If treated crop is lost due to poor germination, hail, flood, insects, etc., corn may be replanted immediately. Do not make a second broadcast application. If the
original application was banded and the second crop is planted in the untreated row middles, a second banded treatment may be applied. (2) Corn, sorghum, soybeans, cotton, or peanuts may be planted the spring following treatment. Do not graze or feed forage or fodder from cotton to livestock, or illegal residues may
result. (3) Injury may occur to soybeans planted the year following application on soils having a calcareous surface layer. (4) In eastern parts of the Dakotas, KS,
western MN, and NE, do not rotate to soybeans for 18 months following application if the rate applied to corn or sorghum was more than 2.0 lbs. a.i. of atrazine
or equivalent band application rate, or soybean injury may occur. (5) If applied after June 10, do not rotate with crops other than corn or sorghum the next year,
or crop injury may occur. (6) In the High Plains and Inter-mountain areas of the West, where rainfall is sparse and erratic or where irrigation is required, use only
when corn or sorghum is to follow corn or sorghum, or a crop of untreated corn or sorghum is to precede other rotational crops. (7) Do not plant sugar beets,
tobacco, vegetables (including dry beans), spring-seeded small grains, or small-seeded legumes the year following application, or injury may occur.

* Control of these weeds can be erratic, especially under dry weather conditions. Control escaped weeds with cultivation or application of an appropriate EPAregistered postemergence herbicide. On fine-textured soils, only partial control can be expected.
** Control may be improved by following these suggested procedures:
1. Apply up to the maximum single application rate in Table 1 for your given soil texture and rate limitation based on your soil conservation practices.
2. Thoroughly till moist soil to destroy germinating and emerged weeds. If Stalwart Xtra Lite is to be applied preplant incorporated, this tillage may be
used to incorporate Stalwart Xtra Lite if uniform 2-inch incorporation is achieved as recommended under Application Procedures.
3. Plant crop into moist soil immediately after tillage. If Stalwart Xtra Lite is to be used preemergence, apply at planting or immediately after planting.
4. If available, sprinkler irrigate within 2 days after application. Apply 1/2-1 inch of water. Use lower water volume (1/2 inch) on coarse-textured soils and
higher volume (1 inch) on fine-textured soils.
5. If irrigation is not possible and rain does not occur within 2 days after planting and application, weed control may be decreased. Under these conditions, a
uniform, shallow cultivation is recommended as soon as weeds emerge.
6. Following an application of Stalwart Xtra Lite to large-seeded broadleaf weeds, or those listed as partially controlled, a subsequent application of a postemergence herbicide my be made if needed.

* Split applications can be made less than 30 days before planting if desired.
For medium textured soils: applications made less than 30 days prior to planting may be as either a split or single treatment. Split applications may also be made
by applying 2/3 of the label rate between 45 and 30 days prior to planting and 1/3 of the label rate at planting. Use the lower rate for light expected weed
infestations and the higher rate for heavy expected weed infestations. On coarse-textured soils, apply 2.1 qts./A not more than 2 weeks prior to planting.The above
procedure may be followed if atrazine or metolachlor or simazine is used in tank mixtures with Stalwart Xtra Lite.
Substitute a fluid fertilizer for some, or all, of the water carrier for burndown of existing annual weeds listed on this label up to the 2-leaf stage of development.
The addition of crop oil concentrate to the spray mixture will enhance the burndown activity. If larger weeds are present at the time of treatment, apply in a tank
mixture combination with a contact herbicide (for example, paraquat or glyphosate). Observe directions for use, precautions, and restrictions on the label of the
contact herbicide.
On medium- and fine-textured soils following final seedbed preparation in the Blacklands and Gulf Coast areas of TX, an early preplant application of Stalwart
Xtra Lite at 1.5 – 1.9 qts./A may be made 30-45 days before planting. Grass suppression of 2-3 weeks after planting can be expected as a result of this application.
Do not incorporate or disturb the soil before planting, and avoid moving the soil during the planting operation. A follow-up application of metolachlor may be
needed in fields with a history of heavy grass pressure. Apply after planting, but before corn and grass weeds emerge.
Notes: (1) If a follow-up application of metolachlor is needed, do not exceed a total of 1.6 lbs. a.i. of metolachlor per acre, including the preplant Stalwart Xtra
Lite application on medium- or fine-textured soils. On fine-textured soils with more than 3% organic matter, do not exceed 1.6 lbs. a.i. of metolachlor.
9
59067_book_art 5/11/12 12:28 PM Page 10
[To determine the total lbs. ai. of metolachlor per acre, use the following 2-step method:
A. Determine the lbs. of metolachlor applied as Stalwart Xtra Lite (1 qt. = 0.61 lb. ai. of metolachlor); then,
B. If metolachlor is to be used, add the lbs. ai. to be applied in these products to the lbs. in Step A above.]
(2) To the extent possible, do not move treated soil out of the row or move untreated soil to the surface during planting, or weed control will be diminished.
Preplant Surface, Preplant Incorporated, or Preemergence
If you apply this product preplant surface, preplant incorporated, or preemergence, use the appropriate rate from Table 2.
Preplant Surface: Apply uniformly to the soil surface within 14 days before planting. Where applications are made to coarse soils more than 7 days before
planting, use the rates in Table 1.
Preplant Incorporated: Apply to the soil and incorporate into the top 2 inches of the soil within 14 days before planting, using a finishing disk, finishing harrow,
rolling cultivator, or similar implement capable of providing uniform 2-inch incorporation. Use the preplant incorporated method if furrow irrigation is used or
when a period of dry weather after application is expected. If crop is to be planted on beds, apply and incorporate after bed formation.
Preemergence: Apply to the soil surface at planting (behind the planter) or after planting, but before weeds or crop emerge.

Notes: (1) In the event of escape of annual weeds following an early preplant, preplant surface, preplant incorporated, or preemergence treatment of Stalwart
Xtra Lite applied alone or in combination, follow with a post-emergence application of an appropriately labeled broadleaf and/or grass weed herbicide, i.e.,
atrazine, primisulfuron-methyl (Beacon), nicosulfuron (Accent®), dicamba (Banvel), bentazone (Basagran), bromoxynil (Brominal or Buctril), primisulfuron-methyl
+ prosulfuron (Exceed), atrazine + dicamba (Marksman), or 2,4-D. If the postemergence treatment includes the herbicide used in the earlier treatment, do not
exceed the labeled rate for corn on a given soil texture. (2) Bromoxynil may be applied postemergence alone or in tank mix combination with atrazine. Do not
exceed 1.2 lbs. a.i./A of atrazine in tank mix combination with bromoxynil postemergence. Refer to the atrazine, and bromoxynil labels for specific rates and precautions. (3) If atrazine or another product containing atrazine is used postemergence following application of Stalwart Xtra Lite, do not exceed a total of 2.5
lbs. a.i./A of atrazine per year.
Postemergence Broadcast
If you apply this product early postemergence, use the appropriate rate from Table 3. Apply post-emergence treatments of Stalwart Xtra Lite using water only
as the carrier. Apply this treatment before grass and broadleaf weeds pass the 2-leaf stage and before corn exceeds 5 inches in height. Application to weeds
larger than the 2-leaf stage will generally result in unsatisfactory control. Occasional corn leaf burn may result, but this should not affect later growth or yield. Do
not apply postemergence in fluid fertilizer, or severe crop injury may occur.
Note: To avoid possible illegal residues, do not graze or feed forage from treated areas for 60 days following application.

*For better residual control of cocklebur, velvetleaf, and yellow nutsedge on fine-textured soils above 3% organic matter, apply 2.6 qts. of Stalwart Xtra Lite per
acre.
Notes: (1) If no atrazine was applied prior to corn emergence, apply a maximum of 2 lbs ai/A broadcast. If a postemergence treatment is required following an
earlier herbicide application, the total atrazine applied may not exceed 2.5 lbs ai/A per calendar year. (2) If atrazine or atrazine plus metolachlor tank mixtures
have been applied early preplant, preplant surface, preplant incorporated, or pre-emergence, limit the Stalwart Xtra Lite early post application not to exceed
a total of 2.5 lbs. of active ingredient in atrazine or 3.75 lbs. of the active ingredient metolachlor per acre per calendar year, or illegal residues may result.
Postemergence-Directed
Stalwart Xtra Lite may be applied at 1.25 – 2.6 qts./A in a minimum of 15 gals. of water as a postemergence-directed treatment to corn to extend control of
weeds. Apply using the appropriate rate from Table 4.
For best results, apply Stalwart Xtra Lite to weed-free soil following use of a preplant surface, preplant incorporated, or preemergence herbicide, or following
a lay-by cultivation. If weeds have emerged at the time of Stalwart Xtra Lite application, apply before grass and broadleaf weeds exceed the 2-leaf stage. Application to weeds larger than the 2-leaf stage will generally give unsatisfactory control. Apply to corn not exceeding 12 inches in height. Minimize contact with
corn leaves. Do not apply postemergence in fluid fertilizer, or severe crop injury may occur.
Note: To avoid possible illegal residues, do not graze or feed forage from treated areas for 60 days following application.

1. Tank Mixture with Atrazine, Metolachlor (Stalwart C), Simazine (Sim-Trol), or Isoxaflutole (Balance Flexx) –
Conventional Tillage
When tank mixing or sequentially applying simazine and/or atrazine or products containing either active ingredient to corn, the total pounds of simazine and/or
atrazine applied must not exceed 2.0 pounds active ingredient per single application or 2.5 lbs active ingredient/acre per calendar year.
Note: Check the compatibility of Stalwart Xtra Lite tank mixtures with isoxaflutole before mixing in spray tank by using the procedure described under
Application in Water or Fluid Fertilizers.
Atrazine (4L or 90DF): Add up to 1.0 qt. of Sipcam Atrazine 4L (1.1 lbs. of 90DF) per acre to the rate of Stalwart Xtra Lite specified in Table 3 in the
southeastern U.S. where high rainfall can shorten the duration of control of broadleaf weeds, and in all areas where heavy infestations of cocklebur, morningglory,
velvetleaf, or other broadleaf weeds claimed are expected.
Metolachlor Products: Add up to 0.33 pt. of Stalwart C per acre (0.32 lb. ai metolachlor) to the rate of Stalwart Xtra Lite specified in Table 3 when heavy
infestations of yellow nutsedge, sandbur, or seedling johnsongrass are expected.
Simazine (4L or 90DF): Add up to 1.0 qt. of Sim-Trol 4L (1.1 lbs. of Sim-Trol 90DF) per acre to the rate of Stalwart Xtra Lite specified in Table 2 where
heavy infestations of crabgrass or fall panicum are expected or additional control of certain broadleafs is desired.
Isoxaflutole (Balance Flexx) (Field Corn Only): The tank mixture of Stalwart Xtra Lite + isoxaflutole provides control of weeds listed on the Stalwart
Xtra Lite label, certain weed biotypes resistant to ALS-inhibitor herbicides and to triazine herbicides, velvetleaf, and others on the respective product labels.
Isoxaflutole will contribute to the control of problem grass and other broadleaf species on its label. Application may be preplant (surface-applied up to 14 days
before planting), preplant incorporated, or preemergence in conventional tillage, conservation tillage, and no-till systems. Refer to Table 1: Stalwart Xtra Lite
– Early Preplant for the early preplant application rate (8-14 days before planting) or refer to Table 2 for the appropriate rate for preplant (surface-applied
0-7 days before planting), preplant incorporated, or preemergence application. Refer to the Application Procedures and Tank Mix Directions on the isoxaflutole label, but to reduce the potential for injury from isoxaflutole contact with corn, use 0.75-1.25 oz/A of isoxaflutole on coarsed-textured soils and 1.25-1.5
oz./A on medium- and fine-textured soils in conventional, conservation, and no-tillage systems.
Observe all applicable directions, precautions, and limitations on the Stalwart Xtra Lite and isoxaflutole labels when applying these products in tank mix combination in states where isoxaflutole is registered. Where difficult species and/or severe weed populations are expected, use the maximum rates of Stalwart
Xtra Lite and isoxaflutole where rate ranges are listed for the tank mixture.
2. Tank Mixture of Stalwart Xtra Lite Alone or Stalwart Xtra Lite + Atrazine, Isoxaflutole (Balance Flexx), Metolachlor (Stalwart C), or Simazine (Sim-Trol), with Paraquat (Gramoxone), 2,4-D + Glyphosate (Landmaster
BW), or Glyphosate (Roundup) for Minimum-Tillage or No-Tillage Systems
When tank mixing or sequentially applying simazine and/or atrazine or products containing either active ingredient to corn, the total pounds of simazine and/or
atrazine applied must not exceed 2.0 pounds active ingredient per single application or 2.5 lbs active ingredient/acre per calendar year.
In minimum-tillage or no-tillage systems where corn is planted directly into a cover crop, stale seedbed, established sod, or previous crop residues, the contact
herbicides paraquat, 2,4-D + glyphosate, or glyphosate should be tank mixed with Stalwart Xtra Lite alone or with Stalwart Xtra Lite + atrazine, isoxaflutole,
metolachlor, or simazine. When used as directed, the paraquat portion of the tank mixture controls most emerged annual weeds and suppresses many perennial
weeds. 2,4-D + glyphosate or glyphosate combinations will control emerged annual and perennial weeds when applied as directed on its label. The Stalwart
Xtra Lite portion of the tank mixture provides preemergence control of the weeds listed on this label in the Stalwart Xtra Lite Alone section for corn.The
addition of atrazine, isoxaflutole, metolachlor, or simazine offers the advantage indicated for each under Tank Mixture with Atrazine, Metolachlor (Stalwart
C), Simazine (Sim-Trol), or Isoxaflutole (Balance Flexx) – Conventional Tillage section.
Application: Apply before, during, or after planting, but before corn emerges, at the appropriate rate in Table 5. Up to 1.0 qt. of Sipcam Atrazine 4L (1.1 lbs. of
90DF), or 0.75-1.5 oz. of isoxaflutole (refer to Tank Mixture with Balance Flexx for specific rate), or 0.33 pt. of metolachlor (Stalwart C), or 1.0 qt. of SimTrol 4L (1.1 lbs. of Sim-Trol 90DF) per acre may be added to the rate of Stalwart Xtra Lite specified in Table 5. Add paraquat, 2,4-D + glyphosate, or glyphosate
at labeled rates. Tank mixtures with isoxaflutole (Balance Flexx) can only be used on field corn.
Apply in 20-60 gals. of water per acre with conventional spray equipment.

3. Tank Mixture of Stalwart Xtra Lite Alone or Stalwart Xtra Lite + Atrazine, or Isoxaflutole (Balance Flexx), with
2,4-D or 2,4-D + Dicamba (Banvel) for Minimum-Tillage or No-Tillage Systems
When tank mixing or sequentially applying simazine and/or atrazine or products containing either active ingredient to corn, the total pounds of simazine and/or
atrazine applied must not exceed 2.0 pounds active ingredient per single application or 2.5 lbs active ingredient/acre per calendar year.
In minimum-tillage or no-tillage systems where corn is planted directly into a cover crop, stale seedbed, established sod, or previous crop residues, Stalwart
Xtra Lite may be applied in combination with atrazine or isoxaflutole. When used as directed, the Stalwart Xtra Lite portion of the tank mixture provides
preemergence control of the weeds listed on this label in the Stalwart Xtra Lite Alone section for corn. The addition of atrazine or isoxaflutole offers the
advantage indicated for each under Tank Mixture with Atrazine, Metolachlor, Simazine, or Isoxaflutole (Balance Flexx) – Conventional Tillage
section.
Application: Apply Stalwart Xtra Lite before, during, or after planting, but before corn emerges, at the appropriate rate in Table 5. Up to 1.0 qt. of Sipcam
Atrazine 4L (1.1 lbs. of 90DF) or 0.75-1.5 oz. of isoxaflutole (refer to Tank Mixture with Isoxaflutole (Balance Flexx) for specific rate), per acre may be
added to the rate of Stalwart Xtra Lite recommended in Table 5.
Where heavy crop residues exist, add an appropriately labeled 2,4-D amine or low volatile ester to the spray tank last and apply in a minimum of 25 gals. of
carrier per acre.
As carriers, nitrogen solutions and complete liquid fertilizers, applied before corn emergence, enhance burndown of existing weeds, and therefore are recommended
instead of water. Add X-77® surfactant at 1.0-2.0 qts./100 gals. of diluted spray, or another surfactant cleared for use on growing crops at its recommended rate.
Apply before weeds exceed 3 inches in height. If alfalfa is present, add dicamba (Banvel) to the spray mixture at 0.33-0.5 pt./A and apply before alfalfa exceeds 6
inches in height.
For fields with existing sod grasses (e.g., bromegrass, orchardgrass, rye, or timothy), when existing weeds exceed 3 inches in height or when very dry conditions
exist, add paraquat (Gramoxone) at the rate of 2.5 pts./A in place of, or in addition to, 2,4-D, as indicated above. Do not apply paraquat in suspension-type liquid
fertilizer (using clay suspending agents), as the activity of paraquat will be reduced. Observe all directions for use, precautions, and limitations on the respective
product labels when applying these products in tank mix combination.

applying these products in tank mix combination.
6.Tank Mixtures For Postemergence Salvage Weed Control in Field Corn Only
For postemergence control of weeds in specific types of field corn, the Stalwart Xtra Lite combinations listed below may be used. Full season weed control
from early preplant, preplant incorporated, or preemergence treatments can lead to maximum yield potential under competition-free conditions. However, if
control of emerged weeds is needed, a postemergence program listed below can be applied to provide residual control for the remainder of the season.
Notes: (1) Follow all label directions, instructions, precautions, and limitations for each product used. (2) Do not use fluid fertilizer with these mixtures or corn
injury may occur. (3) For each tank mixture with Stalwart Xtra Lite, apply only to the specific field corn type specified on the tank mix product label. (4) Inrow weed control may be reduced because of lack of coverage when applied to corn over 4 inches tall.
a. Stalwart Xtra Lite + Liberty Herbicide: Postemergence Use in LibertyLink® Corn or Corn Warranted by Bayer CropScience as Being Tolerant to Liberty Herbicide - The tank mixture of Stalwart Xtra Lite + Liberty Herbicide can be applied postemergence to weeds and corn from seed
designated as LibertyLink or corn warranted by Bayer CropScience as being tolerant to Liberty Herbicide. Liberty provides postemergence control of a broad
spectrum of grass and broadleaf weeds and the Stalwart Xtra Lite provides residual control of grasses and broadleaf weeds listed in the label section
Stalwart Xtra Lite Applied Alone – Weeds Controlled. For the proper rate of Stalwart Xtra Lite applied postemergence, refer to Table 3 and use
the minimum rate per soil texture for season-long residual control. Refer to the Liberty label for the Liberty postemergence application rate according to
weed species and their maximum height at the time of postemergence application. Where multiple weed species are present, use the highest Liberty rate recommended to control the species and growth stages present.
Follow all applicable use directions, limitations, precautions, and information regarding application to corn on the Stalwart Xtra Lite and Liberty Herbicide
labels.
b. Stalwart Xtra Lite + Glyphosate (Roundup Ultra) for Postemergence Application to Corn with the Roundup Ready® Gene - The tank mixture
of Stalwart Xtra Lite + Roundup Ultra can be applied postemergence to weeds and to corn designated as containing the Roundup Ready Gene. Application
may be applied postemergence to Roundup Ready corn up to 12 inches in height. This mixture will provide postemergence control of weed species on the
Roundup Ultra label and also residual control of weed species on the Stalwart Xtra Lite label. Use the minimum Stalwart Xtra Lite rate postemergence
with Roundup Ultra in Roundup Ready corn as specified in Table 3 of this label according to soil texture. Refer to the Supplemental Labeling of Roundup
Ultra for Postemergence Application to Corn with the Roundup Ready Gene and to each product label and follow all appropriate use directions,
application procedures, precautions, and limitations. Apply 24-32 fl. oz./A of Roundup Ultra for control of labeled broadleaf and grass weeds. Refer to the
Roundup Ultra label for directions for control of problem species.
Follow all applicable use directions, limitations, precautions, and information regarding application to corn on the Stalwart Xtra Lite and Roundup Ultra
labels, and on the Supplemental Labeling of Roundup Ultra for Postemergence Application to Corn with the Roundup Ready Gene. Where
difficult species and/or severe weed populations are expected, use the maximum rate where rate ranges are listed.
c. Stalwart Xtra Lite + Exceed: Apply 1.25-1.7 qts./A of Stalwart Xtra Lite + 1.0 oz./A of Exceed to corn that is 4-12 inches tall. The application may be
broadcast, semi-directed, or directed. The Stalwart Xtra Lite rate is based on soil texture, with 1.25 qts./A on coarse, and 1.7 qts./A on medium and fine soils.
Add a nonionic surfactant at 0.25% v/v.
This mixture is effective for control of many annual broadleaf weeds and some grasses. A few instances of broadleaf weed control antagonism have been observed
with this combination. Control of certain annual grasses can be improved with the addition of Accent.
d. Stalwart Xtra Lite + Exceed + Accent: Apply the same rates of Stalwart Xtra Lite and Exceed as mentioned above. Add Accent at 0.33 oz./A for more
effective control of certain annual grasses. Apply to field corn between 4 and 12 inches. Add a nonionic surfactant at 0.25% v/v. The use of fertilizer or crop
oil concentrate with this combination may cause injury to corn.
e. Stalwart Xtra Lite + Spirit® - Spirit herbicide at 1.0 oz./A can be substituted in place of Exceed in the above combinations in field corn only.
Notes: Do not use fertilizer or crop oil concentrate with these mixtures or injury to field corn may occur. The combination of Stalwart Xtra Lite with other
products for postemergence weed control in corn is generally not recommended. These combinations may cause injury and/or weed control concerns
that would not exist when the products are used separately. A certain inherent risk is involved with the various combinations of these products used
postemergence in corn. [It should be noted that early preplant, preplant incorporated, or preemergence control of these weeds would usually provide more
timely weed control resulting in higher yields than postemergence treatments.]
Mixing Order
Add these products (Tank Mixtures c, d, and e) to the tank mix in the following order:
1. Products in water-soluble bags should be added first.
2. Stalwart Xtra Lite.
3. Additives.
Precautions: (1) Follow all label instructions, precautions, and rotational restrictions for individual products when making these applications to field corn. When Stalwart Xtra
Lite is applied after June 10, crop injury may occur the following year if you rotate to crops other than corn or sorghum. (2) In-row weed control may be reduced because of
lack of coverage when applied to corn over 4 inches tall.
